    No MIL at Key on Engine off...

    I bought a used 98 LX to drive my son around in, since it's easier to get him into a 4 door instead of the coupe I had. After buying the car, I went to get it tested for emissions. I assumed since I had no check engine light showing, I was fine. Boy was I wrong. I can't get a MIL at Key on...

    losing engine oil, but no sign of leaking

    check both your coolant and oil to make sure they aren't "milky", as would happen with a leak between. check dry compression, then do a wet compression test. if you're getting bad results dry and better with a wet test, you're burning oil by leaking through the rings or because you have scarred...

    door locks not working

    Are you holding the inside handle open when trying to lock the doors? Every Honda I've seen with power locks requires either all doors to be closed, or for the front driver's door handle to be held open. I can take a short video of the reaction in both 5th and 6th gen power locks.

    Need help installing / removing a Honda component for 6th gen? Look no further.

    I'm asking how to replace the hood latch cable. I lost the .PDF manuals I had downloaded before or I wouldn't be asking that question. When you replace the antenna, be sure where it connects at the bottom you attach a piece of string and anchor it to something outside the car so you don't lose...

    How to test radiator fan

    it should be hot, bottom colder. That's the point. I had to let mine idle for about 10 mins after a 2 mile journey until the fan kicked on. I was worried about wiring/relay until it kicked on.

    How to test radiator fan

    It does take quite a while for the fan to kick on on my HX. I replaced the radiator in it about a year ago and had the same worry, but the fan kicked on when it needed to. Take it for a small spin around the block and come back, if the fan still doesn't come on... wait a while. Watch the temp...

    Taillights dont light up at night?! neither do parking lights...

    My dad's Sentra had the same problem. It ended up being a relay in the steering column on that car. I hope it's just a faulty relay for you and not a wiring problem.

    gauge cluster swap

    Did a gauge cluster replacement myself on a 4th gen DX STD. I grabbed a cluster from an LX and it was plug and play. I had no tach before and the tach worked just fine when i plugged it in. Try a junkyard first, you may be able to get a steal of a price.
